After hearing Christian’s judgment, Merlin laughed wryly and said, “My thoughts are the same as yours. In New York, there aren’t many people who can make a move on the Fox family. Taking into account the Rothschild and the Acker families, there are at most four of five families with the strength to do so but this time, this group of people’s style of action is not the same as any of you.”“Indeed.” Christian agreed and said, “This kind of gameplay is not something that a few big families can do. It is indeed very wild and surprising at first glance.”“You think so too?” Merlin sighed and said, “I once thought that this might be the work of a new gang. Generally, new gangs would want to do shocking and appalling things to get ahead but when I think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem quite right. If any gang dares to play like this, they would basically be in a dead end and no gang would be able to compete with the strength of the Fox family.”Christian nodded in agreement and said,

Merlin sighed. “But I still don’t quite understand why they would want to draw the Fox family into the spotlight. Are they going to make a move against the Fox family in front of the whole world?! That would be too arrogant and the whole world will not forgive them for it. By then, they will definitely become everyone’s public enemy!”Christian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Unless…Unless they have absolute certainty that they would be able to reverse the current situation completely!”With that said, a rarely seen slightly frightened expression appeared on Christian’s face as he blurted out, “Ahh, I got it! This must be a public execution!”“Public execution…” Merlin muttered and repeated Christian’s sentence. After that, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out, “I got it now! If your inference is right, then this mysterious person must have mastered a huge scandal of the Fox family. As soon as this scandal is exposed, the entire Fox family will suffer a devastatin

Merlin’s offhand remark caused Christian’s face to darken. However, he did not react and he simply raised his cup of wine slightly and took a large sip before he smacked his lips and said lightly, “The idiot that you’ve just mentioned is me.”Merlin was dumbfounded as he looked at Christian and blurted out, “F*ck! What the hell! Did someone deceive you?”“No.” Christian waved his hand and laughed mockingly at himself under the influence of the wine as he said, “No one was cheating me. I was the one who gave the f*cking price of three hundred and seventy billion US dollars, and I even knelt down on the spot in front of them but they did not sell it to me and they even kicked me out of the auction venue.”Merlin felt that his perception had been completely subverted and he subconsciously asked, “What medicine is it…why did you offer three hundred and seventy billion US dollars for it? What kind of concept is three hundred billion US dollars? Even the market value of Alibaba today is

Christian said emotionally, “He has been ill for more than two years now. In the beginning, I realized that he forgets things easily and sometimes, he’d just put something down and forget all about it in the next moment. Sometimes, he would forget something as soon as you’ve just mentioned it to him, or he’ll understand you when you say something to him but after that, he’d come back and ask you about it again…”“At that time, we had already let the best experts intervene and we also took him for some systematic training to fight the disease. However, the cause of this disease is the functional decline of the brain and so, there’s no effective medical treatment for it. After that, his condition continued to deteriorate.”As Christian spoke of this, he smiled wryly and said, “Tell me, isn’t this disease f*cking strange? The more recent the thing is, the more the person is unable to remember it, but the more distant the thing, the more a person can remember it. The old man’s condition

Christian’s words left Merlin silent for a long time.Back then, Merlin had only heard of Ashley’s incident. Due to his professional sensitivity, he had once wanted to find out the secret behind that incident but there were very few insiders who knew of that incident. Moreover, it was so secretive, and so, Merlin did not continue looking for trouble for himself. However, when he thought of Ashley, he still could not help but sigh as he said, “Christian, what happened to your elder sister… is really a pity… If she was still alive, I’m afraid that the world of the rich would be a completely different picture now.”Christian nodded gently. As the younger brother with the smallest age gap with Ashley, he best understood what kind of strength his elder sister possessed.It could be said that half the credit for what the Acker family had today belonged to the Acker family’s ancestors, while the other half of the credit belonged to Ashley. As he thought of this, he could not help but

After saying that, he paused for a moment and added, “The year when my elder sister met with an accident, my father set up a special trust fund at JP Morgan Chase Bank and he puts one billion US dollars into it every year.”“This money will be used for two purposes—firstly, to find my nephew, and the other would be to give him the rest of the money after we find him.”“Twenty years have already passed now and the principal invested in total is twenty billion US dollars. In the past twenty years, we hired multiple teams to look for him all around the world and we spent less than half of the money on it. In fact, we spent about six to seven billion US dollars to find him.”Merlin was dumbfounded when he heard this and he blurted out, “You have to spend so much money to find someone?!”“Yes.” Christian explained, “In the information age, it might seem easy to look for someone but in reality, this world is so big. If you miss a certain corner slightly, you might never be able to find t

Merlin’s perception was completely subverted when he heard Christian’s words and he sighed as he said, “You guys are even more ruthless than spy warfare… The entire World War II was only fought for a span of six years, from 1930 to 1945, but you guys actually lasted fifteen years…”“Yes,” Christian said seriously. “Don’t all big families do things this way? We aren’t afraid of spending money, wasting time, or wasting energy but we simply do not want to make any mistakes at all costs. You can’t imagine the hidden engineering behind this matter. In order to send the talents that we’ve cultivated to several major families in Oskia without leaving any traces, we’d specially collaborated with Oskia more than ten years ago to organize an activity to promote the development of overseas Oskian top graduates returning to Oskia. We’ve sent nearly a hundred overseas Oskian graduates who have graduated from major universities in the United States back to Oskia, and let them enter these families t

Merlin laughed and said, “Becoming your nephew is worth it. That’s one hundred billion US dollars. According to how rich people play, I won’t even finish spending the interest even when I spend until I die…”Christian shook his head, laughed and said, “I just don’t know if we can find my nephew. If he can be found, then it is estimated that he must have suffered quite a bit over the years and with his mother’s contribution to the Acker family, the one hundred billion US dollars wouldn’t be too much.”After saying that, he couldn’t help but say regretfully, “Unfortunately, the old man is ill and he might not be able to recognize my nephew when he finally gets to see him. If my father sees him now, he might not believe that it’s my nephew. If my father is old and healthy, and really sees my nephew, I’m afraid that he’ll give him even more money. Even though he rarely says it in so many years, he’s always thinking about this grandson of his.”After that, he then added, “Oh, by the way,

Though Jacob had nothing going for him, he had always had a huge ego, and he had never once admitted that he would lose to anyone in the presence of his wife and daughter.That was why both Elaine and Claire were shocked when he suddenly openly admitted that he was a piece of shit in front of them. They had never heard such a thing from him in the decades they had lived with him!In fact, Jacob himself was reluctant to insult himself like that.However, Charlie told him repeatedly that he absolutely must say it before he came here—because Charlie was dead sure that this line was the key to getting over this impasse, and it truly did put this crisis to rest.Even as Jacob finished, his heart was bleeding as he felt like he had just put his pride on the floor and trampled all over it until it was crushed to oblivion. Even though it was to clear any suspicion Elaine held toward him, to call himself a piece of shit—to say it himself that his beloved woman would think him beneath her,

Before Elaine knew it, she was reading the website she had just read again, and she did indeed find Yolden's name on it.With that, everything Charlie had said snapped together into a perfect chain of logic.Seeing the troubled look on her face, Charlie quickly added, "I'm not going to lie—Dad told me right away when he was told Matilda was getting married. We even discussed if we should tell you, and now you know why." "Matilda is doing so well for herself and got such an amazing husband, and they've picked Shangri-La's Sky Garden—something an average Joe could never hope to reach. And since she invited our whole family and not just us, Dad had to really think about it.""Eventually, he told me to hide it from you or it'd leave you devastated, so none of us said anything. We just didn't think you'd find that invitation and then end up having a big fight about it."Sighing, Charlie then continued, "But if you really want to go, we can go together for their wedding to put your min

Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6422
"Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M

"Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki

Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"

Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w
